Steam Updated

Posted by Jeppo at 22:25 4/12/2003.

Steam, which is slowly but surely rolling out all it's problems has had another update:

Changes:
  • Fixed bug that would cause Steam to lock up for a long period on version roll
  • Fixed 'CacheFixedFileDirectory' crash
  • Fixed problem on version roll when cache was marked as read only
  • Added e-mail address confirmation in Steam when creating an account
  • Fixed crash on shutdown of Steam
  • Tighter checking for typos when entering a WON CD-Key
  • Catch cache corruption errors earlier on launch
  • Added a new cd-key authorisation step when adding a game to the 'My Games' list

As you can see there aren't any game fixes in this release, the changes are centred around the client itself. The update will be automatically downloaded next time you start the Steam program.

sort that f***in spec menu out thing valve. How many of those daft errors have i actually got that u've 'fixed'.

How many load fails do we all have to get before valve fix the prob.

Its like leaving the car off at the mechanics..
